You should really have your cameraman help you stir the grains into the water as you dump them in. From experience, you will have literally no dough balls to worry about, and you spend less time di%$ing around with the MLT being open.
Thanks for putting out some killer info on all grain brewing. I've been doing the extract /grain mix brewing for a couple years and am now gearing up to take the plunge into all grain. Do you have an email address where you can be contacted? I have a few questions for you. douglasapinto@gmail.com
Is there a reason you add the grain to the water, instead of the other way around? I've read from some expert brewers that it's much easier to avoid those dough balls if you scoop a few quarts of strike while stirring into the grain, then pour and stir the rest.
Great video series - thanks. I am getting ready to make the move to all grain. Is there a rule of thumb on the volume of water for doughing-in?
Also, i am likely going to use a Coleman extreme 32 qt for the mlt, including your manifold system. Interior is 19.75" x 7.75" x 10". Do have the measurements for the cpvc lengths? - save me some measuring time.
I've always heard 1.5 - 2 quarts per pound of grain. I usually do 1.5 / pound, then take a temp reading and if it's off there's room to add the extra strike water.
